spent elsewhere.

"When did I vote on spending $1500 per

have completely ignored the rise in gas
prices, oil prices and electricity.
There are enough people in Roanoke and
surrounding areas that need assistance

others."

A new government study found that
about 40 percent of bariatric surgery
patients had a complication within six

months of leaving the hospital.

Insert pre-pro here

It found the five most common
complications were surgical problems
with the joining of the intestine and
stomach, infections, pneumonia,
abdominal hernias, and the most common
dumping syndrome which includes,
vomiting, reflux, and diarrhea.

But Dr. Alan White with Carilion

And finally in health news, the sale
of Danville Regional Medical center
last year is now benefiting Danville
community college.

After the sale of the hospital money
was placed in a trust for health,
education, and the well being of
Southside residents.

And now the Danville Foundation is
giving 9-point-7 million dollars of it
to the college. The money will go
towards renovations on campus as well
as building a new Health Sciences
Center that will house a community
dental clinic and help to expand health
programs like nursing.

Virginia and well many of the athletes
who will be donning the pads for the
first time in 2-thousand 6 it won't be
the start of their preperations.
Off-season training is more the rule
than the exception for kids these days.
They aren't the only ones who will be
on the field on Friday Nights who have
been working at their craft this
off-season. The Referees have also
been gathering weekly during the summer
to prepare for the up-coming season.

(BITES:)

One of the biggest rules changes
on the college level this year at least
in the officials eyes is that the Game
Clock will start immediately after the
change of possession which should
shorten the game dramatically.

The Referees will be back to work
on the High School level starting on
August 25th that will also be the first
